Effects of environmental conditions on predator–prey interactions between white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and Cape fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) at Seal Island, South Africa (2006, methodology): “Predatory behavior of white sharks has also been studied at Seal Island in False Bay, South Africa by Martin et al. (2005), who concluded that predation is a tactically fluid event that is probably influenced by local environmental conditions.”
Environmental variables affecting the sexual segregation of great white sharks Carcharodon carcharias at the Neptune Islands South Australia (2007, background): “Being inexperienced, these pups would be easy prey in comparison to their adult counterparts (Martin et al., 2005).”
Sex-specific and individual preferences for hunting strategies in white sharks (2016, background): “Pinnipeds are primarily ambushed at the surface although previous studies have not quantified if the sharks were performing ARS or patrolling behaviour before the attack (e.g. Martin et al. 2005).”
A review of shark satellite tagging studies (2011, background): “It is well documented that white sharks rely on stealth and ambush to successfully capture and subjugate seal prey (Martin et al., 2005; Hammerschlag et al., 2006).”
The effects of shark cage-diving operations on the behaviour and movements of white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, at the Neptune Islands, South Australia (2013, background): “white sharks have been reported around other pinniped colonies, with sharks showing a general preference to occur in areas close to the maximum concentration of pinnipeds, or within the areas of common corridors that pinnipeds use to approach and depart island systems (Klimley and Anderson 1999; Mar”
Three-dimensional computer analysis of white shark jaw mechanics: how hard can a great white bite? (2008, background): “Gape angle in both instances was set at 351 based on observation of still images of prey capture (Martin et al., 2005).”
A review of shark agonistic displays: comparison of display features and implications for shark–human interactions (2007, unknown): “A variety of named and described agonistic behaviours have been reported in this species, but without supporting evidence (Compagno 2001; Martin et al. 2005).”
Hunting patterns and geographic profiling of white shark predation (2009, background): “However, because predation is relatively inflexible (Martin et al., 2005), the hunting behaviour of a single predator species on a single prey species at a given site converges on a narrow subset of possibilities.”
Annual re-sightings of photographically identified white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) at an eastern Pacific aggregation site (Guadalupe Island, Mexico) (2007, background): “This is in stark contrast to a white shark aggregation site oV the coast of South Africa, where over 2,000 predatory attacks on pinnipeds have been documented between 1997 and 2003 (Martin et al. 2005).”
